Frequently Asked Questions - BHFEA640WG BLACK & DECKER

How to charge the BHFEA640WG vacuum cleaner?

You can charge the device in two ways: directly by plugging the magnetic charger into the round port under the device, or via the wall station. Plug the charger into a 120 V outlet, align the magnetic connector, and the LED lights will flash during charging. Full charge takes about 4 hours.

How to empty the dust bin?

Press the dust bin release button (13) to remove it from the device. Over a trash bin, press the door release button (11) to empty the contents. Tap lightly to remove residue and replace the bin until it clicks.

How to clean the filters?

Remove the dust bin, then the pre-filter and foam/felt filter. Shake or brush off dust. Wash the filters with warm soapy water, rinse and let dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not use soap on the exhaust filter, simply rinse it.

When to replace the filters?

It is recommended to replace the pre-filter and exhaust filter every 6 to 9 months depending on use. Replacement references are BHFEBF1 for the pre-filter and BHFEBF2 for the exhaust filter. Available at Black+Decker retailers.

How to clean the rotating brush?

Disconnect the floor brush from the vacuum. Slide the release latch (35) backward, lift the rotating brush. Remove hairs or debris, wipe the brush. To remove the brush from its holder, unclip it, then reassemble by aligning the D-slot with the axle. Replace in the floor head until it clicks.

Can I use the vacuum to pick up liquids?

No, this vacuum is designed only for dry waste. Never use it to pick up liquids, flammable substances, or hot ashes, as this poses a risk of electric shock or fire.

What to do if the vacuum does not start?

First check that the battery is charged. If it does not charge, make sure the charger is plugged into a working outlet and the ambient temperature is between 4°C and 40°C. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to use the different speed modes?

The hard floor button (2) is for wood, vinyl, or tile floors. The carpet button (3) offers more power for carpets. The rotating brush works in both modes. Press the On/Off button (1) to turn on/off.

How to mount the wall station?

Mark the location of the screw holes on the wall at a suitable height, near an outlet. Attach the wall base (22) with appropriate screws and anchors. Insert the magnetic charger into the base by pushing the release button downward. Place the vacuum on the storage hook.

Additional Safety Information

WARNING:

Never modify the appliance or

any part of it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING:

Some household dust

contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm such as asbestos and lead in lead based paint.

WARNING:

Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,
  • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
  • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face and body.
  • Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

- DO NOT incinerate the tool even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-ion batteries are burned.

- If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.

- Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

- Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

- Never attempt to open the tool for any reason. If the tool case is cracked or damaged, do not charge. Do not crush, drop or damage the tool. Do not use a tool or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged tools should be returned to the service center for recycling.

Storage Recommendations

The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

Transportation

nOTE: Integral Li-ion tools should not be put in checked baggage on airplanes.

Tool Disposal

This product uses a lithium-ion rechargeable and recyclable battery. When the battery no longer holds a charge, the tool should be recycled. The tool should not be incinerated or placed in the trash.

The tool can be taken for disposal to an Authorized Service Center. Some local retailers are also participating in a national recycling program (refer to RBRC®). Call your local retailer for details.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, turn unit off before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

State of Charge Indicator

This appliance includes a state of charge indicator which consists of three blue LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery. This feature is only activated when the vacuum is powered on or during a charge cycle.

The state of charge indicator is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the following indicators:

The LED battery indicator displays the remaining charge and warns you when the battery is low. The final LED will flash continuously when there is approximately one minute of runtime remaining. All LEDs will flash when the unit is discharged.

NOTE: The state of charge indicator is only an indication of the charge left on the battery. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product components, temperature and end-user application.

Use (Fig. G)

This vacuum can be used in one of four ways.

• With the extension tube 8 and the floor head 14.
• With the floor head 14.
  The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder and violates the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated text (underscores) where none should exist, violating the rule to ignore stylistic lines. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
• With the extension tube 8 and an accessory tool 16, 17, 19, 20.
• With an accessory tool 16, 17, 19, 20.

Switching ON and OFF (Fig. H)

1. To switch ON, push the ON/OFF button 1. nOTE: The state of charge indicator LEDs will illuminate while the vacuum is ON.
2. Press the hard floor button 2 for cleaning wood, vinyl or tile floors.

NOTE: The rotary brushes of the floor head 14 or the powered pet head 20 will turn on in both hard floor and carpet modes.

1. Press the carpet button 3 for increased suction power for cleaning carpeted flooring.
2. To switch OFF, press the ON/OFF button 1 a second time.
3. Return the product to the charger immediately after use so that it will be fully charged and ready for the next use. nOTE: Ensure that the product is fully engaged with the charger plug.
